I think we all appreciate what BJGE brings to the table. But the only reason we don't want more is because we're so used to doing it with average +/- ancient RBs. This offense would be monsterous with a do-it-all stud. It's also safe to say we must add RB depth anyway since we can't make it through a season w/out two of them getting injured along the way.

What do you guys think of Bowers the Clemson DE? He is more of a 4-3 guy probably but I would love to have him on our squad, he is a crazy physical talent who really can get to the QB. He doesn't really look like a 3-4 OLB, but I think he could be a McGinnest type of player.

Having brought in what seems like a number of new players in the past couple of years i wonder if this might be the time to consolodate a lot of those extra picks and move up in the draft. I'd really be excited to add a Marcel Dareus and an A.J. Green to name a few.

Post-Moss, I think WR makes a huge jump for needs, and outside of AJ Green, Im not sure of whoelse I'd want. I think WR beats the need for RB on offence.

I think Michael Floyd fits the bill although i dont think he's a burner. Julio Jones i see broke a bone in his hand. He seems to scream Diva to me so i'd go in a differant direction. Dareus and Jones both from the same school? The John Hannah influence cant be that strong.

This thing with Robert Quinn might be a blessing in disguise. The way I see it he might fall out of the top 20 just like Dez did and since OLB is argueably our biggest need we might come out of this with both Heyward and Quinn. :) Please... Make it happen, Bill.

I want the Pats to go get that unbelievable OLB with Oakland's pick, but for some reason I just don't think they will.

Should the Patriots go after another safety in the early rounds (late 1st or 2nd)? The Pats have played a lot of big nickel this year. Merriweather has seemed to lose favor with the coaching staff. I know we have depth in Page, Sanders, and McGowan but if we are continuing to play 3 safeties in sub packages it would be a good idea to provide an upgrade. Obviously this is presuming there is a player available that can be an upgrade.

It scares me that the Pats may have to go back to drafting a corner early again. While I don't think it would happen; it's still possible given the struggles or Butler and Wilhite to get on the field. We will know the status of their needs better at the end of the year. That said you have to look at players that can't get on the field as sunk costs and find guys that are going to productive.

It will be interesting to see what direction the Pats go with all these picks.

^ It sucks to think we've invested a good amount of picks into CBs that are underperforming, but that just makes me want to see a top CB taken for a change. We really can't expect to snag Assante Samuel type steals in the mid rounds all the time. The league is so pass happy these days that it makes the most sense to just bite the bullet and value the blue chip DBs over everything else.

I'd still rather see a DE with the Raiders pick, but the class is fairly deep there and we could always move up from 22ish to grab someone in the teens if necessary. CB at 10 would not prevent us from getting a top DE still, whereas DE at 10 could very well put us out of the hunt for the (presumably) 2 solid CB talents. (Obviously, we could still move up for the CB, but the point is that CB looks to be harder to come by in the upcoming draft when compared to DE.)
